For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper? You got it: currentprotocols.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

We are looking to hire post-docs to work on T cell responses to M. tuberculosis infection using murine and NHP models. If you know T cells and wanna work on the top global infectious killer check us out. BSL3 experience not required. The NIH intramural program in Bethesda MD is an amazing place!

I’m pleased to share my latest work, published in Science Advances. In this study, we investigated how fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) that populate the white pulp of the spleen regulate immune responses to viral infections. #immunology #immunosky www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Splenic fibroblastic reticular cells orchestrate dendritic cell maturation and facilitate CD8+ T cell priming and protective memory
Fibroblastic reticular cells of the spleen coordinate inflammation for optimal antiviral T cell responses and protective memory.

One of our obsessions in the Crotty lab is to better understand B-cell immunology in the context of vaccines. Rare B cells can have antibody specificities particularly important for protection against some diseases. In our most recent paper… @cp-immunity.bsky.social www.cell.com/immunity/ful...

Diverse priming outcomes under conditions of very rare precursor B cells
B cells that give rise to neutralizing antibody responses can be extremely rare in the naive B cell repertoire. Madden et al. show that delivery strategy and adjuvant selection affect the recruitment ...

Collaboration between interleukin-7 and -15 enables adaptation of tissue-resident and circulating memory CD8+ T cells to cytokine deficiency
Circulating memory CD8+ T cells are thought to be highly dependent on interleukin (IL)-7 signaling. Using inducible Il7ra deletion in circulating and tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cell subsets, Jarjour et al. reveal resilience to loss of IL-7 signaling…

My wife and I were postbac IRTAs 25 years ago. Neither would have pursued a career in research if not for this program We have PhD students in Yale Immunobiology now who also came from this NIH program including (one amazing student in my lab) This is a valuable program and has been for decades.
